Because, you left a minute late
and I for a change, an hour early
festive period, retail Sale - hell
double pay hours, had me
leaping out of bed, at Aurora’s six AM
while, your alarm - snoozed you
and had you skipping breakfast
and belatedly Usain bolting, at seven AM.
Because, I stuck a foot - out
held that train door a second longer
and you – gasping, dimple-wheezed
your frantic thank-you’s, adorably.
Because, you chose to stand
by the door - across from me
and I, stutter mumbled
random chit-chat, nothings
to prevent you hearing, drumming
beneath my ribs - louder, than
our soundtrack, ambience
of electrified metal wheels
upon fated tracks, to our very own
meet-cute: scene.
Because, three days later I found you
again
and you, kindly played along
with my happenstance, acting
routine.
Because, you chose
to see what potential goodness
I had in me, rather
than the shambles I was
at that point, in my life.
Because, I played the clown
made you laugh, addicted
to your dimpled smile
that soothed, my accrued aches
every time.
Because, your poise and grace
transcended, your aesthetic beauty
and insured, even I knew - instantly
just having you by my side
would make me, a winner in life.
Because, your patience
granted us time – enough
for me to grow
and become
the partner you deserve.
Because, despite everything
when I express my love
you act, like
I’m a lover, you’re lucky to have.
Because, in my arms
you feel self-assured, enough
to let out
your spoilt brat, side
and every week, without fail
you do something
new and wild
and let me know, to you
I’m: what matters
most.
Because, these words
however epic in length
I ink them, can never do justice
to the miracle
that is, you and me
finding each other
and staying beside each other
while doing
anything and everything
or
absolutely nothing: treasuring
our blessing for as long, as we
possibly can.
Because: Love!

Very romantic dear Mek
The season of love
The week of romance
Justified by the words you string
Because love is simple
Silly
Yet sincere in heart
Sacrifice and respect
Dedication and true intentions colours the canvas of love
The “Because” you wove
Shall attract the lover
For whom you wrote
Very lovely write dear friend
glad you enjoyed the read, dear poet
thank you for the kind comment
What a lovely tale. Brings an ache to the part of my soul which knows the two salts of loneliness and harmony.
Lovely writing LBM... a must for my favourites
means a lot Dusk, thank you!
and like you, my past & present
is seasoned
with those contrasting salts, lol
Dear MEK !!
These lines of yours...really made me wonder....your expression..
"Because, you chose to stand

" Drumming beneath my ribs....what a fabulous diction...
Awesome one from you again !! Liked it and enjoyed the journey to the core !!
so happy you enjoyed the read, dear poet
and yes, 'a journey'
is an apt description for this scribble, lol
lovely poem.. as lovely as thee..🌹🌹🌹
love that you use the Hangul, for a pen name
such a melodic word
and you've chosen the rare blue butterfly..
(thank you! for such a warm comment)
That was the best my friend and the spoil brat is hard to handle in us all! Absolutely loved the muttered sounds, really felt this to my heart.
Takes hard work to know our own let alone treasure anothers responsibly. Thanks for keep pointing the way!
...ooo, forgot to say. Perfect tune to fit and finish my morning off with!
reading your comments
gave me a warm start to my morning
and in this windy weather, that's quite a fit.. lol
thank you! my friend
This poetry connotes reality piercing right into my heart; I enjoyed every line and every word written spoke to my soul in different voices. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us.
so glad you enjoyed the read, dear poet
love your wording of 'reality piercing'
what an encouraging comment
you have eloquently inked
humbly, I thank you!
Captivating as always.
' you chose
to see what potential goodness
I had in me, rather
than the shambles '
These few lines explain so much purely.
There is always more to someone or something than meets the eye. Thank you for delivering such beautiful emotions through this piece of yours.
wow, how very sweet of you
so happy you enjoyed the read
and could connect with its core sentiment's
thank you!
What a wonderful and fantastic story and the love shown for another! It is so refreshing and …. all of the “Beacause…” what amazing writing!
lol, amazing is such an ecstatic word
and to gift it, as praise - somewhat undeservedly
but knowingly-so, to encourage and support
well - there's few, heart's
kind enough, to achieve
such a feat..
and so I humbly, thank you! dear poet
